Saturday/Sunday: The 07/28 taping from Madero. Tuco said it was just okay, Robert said – I don’t remember what Robert said. If only I didn’t have to navigate thru a thread to figure such things out.

CMLL Velocity & Heat: Matches from Arena Coliseo! I’m still lost to figuring out which goes where, and there’s not two ‘main event’ matches to split here. Looks like FSE’s show moved back a couple hours this week. (Yay for DVRs.)

IWRG invaded Ovaciones’ offices yesterday. It was a bloodless takeover, except for that thing with the Head Hunters. The Futbol Nacional section will be renamed “Stuff about Veneno”, and the Futbol Internacional section will be renamed “More Stuff about Veneno.”

Anyway, the article’s a puff piece about IWRG getting big – or at least bigger than it was. They claim to be running in 7 states, though the big shows are still Naucalpan and Neza. Neza’s shows might be shifted to a Friday/Sunday schedule. They’re in talks to co-promote with Dragon Gate in Mexico in 2007. Their school, their TV show, and their wrestling recap TV show are all doing fine. The article states IWRG has 85 wrestlers contracted to it and another 45 outsiders who work there; that’s huge but not implausible in Mexico.

DGUSA has the lineup for the next Toryumon Mexico show

Toryumon Mexico (SUN) 09/10 Arena Coliseo Lineup
1) Negro Navarro, Arkangel de la Muerte vs Skayde, Brian Lee
2) Mima Shimoda, Hiroka vs India Sioux, Marcela
3) Kazuchika Okada, Rascal Matsuzaki, Oscar Hanaoka vs Joe E. Slick, Ashlam, Rip Impact
4) Hiromi Horiguchi, Okumura, Masada vs Brazo de Oro, Brazo de Platino, Passion Hasegawa
5) Hajime Ohara vs Hijo de Fantasma [NWA WELTER]
6) Ultimo Dragon, Mistico, Negro Casas vs Mark Jindrak, Alex Koslov, Kenzo Suzuki

That’s a new Brian Lee.

CMLL (WED) 08/30 Tuxtepec, Oaxaca Lineup
3) Dark Angel & Lady Apache ve Princesa Sujei, Hiroka
4) Mini Olimpico vs Mini Damian 666 [CMLL MINI]

I’d presume Mini Olimpico takes it here; if he does, it’d be the first year with two known* successful defenses since 1997. (Of course, there’s more we don’t know about.)

Artillero & Super Comando retained the Queretaro tag team titles over Ozuno & Sombra de Plata on Sunday.

Guerreros del Ring 47 takes you right into Satanico’s eyes.

I don’t know if this Blue Demon Jr. site is new or if I just forget it existed for a while, but someone posted a link to it, so I guess I might as well.
